Route 11 in Pulaski to close in September for drainage work

PULASKI, N.Y. -- A portion of Route 11 in Oswego County will close for about a week at the beginning of September for construction work.

The New York State Department of Transportation said Tuesday that Route 11 would close to traffic in the village of Pulaski between Route 13 and Lewis Street beginning at 7 a.m. Sept. 4.

The closure will be continuous and last up to eight days.

Crews will be replacing a 14-foot culvert just north of Glen Avenue. In late October or early November, crews will also replace a smaller drainage pipe a bit farther north. Both sites require that the old structures be removed, forcing a full closure of the highway.

The DOT said both drainage repairs were unexpected.

During the closure traffic will be detoured using Route 13 and Lewis Street. The DOT said local traffic will be allowed to bypass the closure using Glen Avenue and Lewis Street. Access to businesses on Route 11 will be maintained while the work is completed.
